Abstract :
    Given the rapid growth of urban populations and the pressures arising from climate change and natural hazards, the need for sustainable and resilient urban development has become increasingly critical. Traditionally, civil engineering and urban planning operate separately, which often leads to inefficiencies in resource management, infrastructure design, and the enhancement of urban resilience. This study aims to propose integrated solutions between civil engineering and urban planning by examining frameworks, methods, and collaboration models between these two fields. The research methodology includes a systematic literature review, analysis of urban case studies, and the application of multi-criteria decision-making modeling. The results indicate that integrating design processes, infrastructure management, spatial planning, and resource management can significantly enhance urban resilience and optimize resource utilization. Furthermore, collaboration between civil engineers and urban planners enables better prediction and mitigation of natural hazards and improves the overall quality of life for citizens. The findings emphasize that sustainable urban development requires a systemic, coordinated, and data-driven approach that simultaneously considers the roles of both disciplines. This study provides practical guidance for policymakers, planners, and engineers to design and manage sustainable, resilient, and adaptable cities through integrated strategies.
